For over 25 years, we’ve combined our technical expertise with a partnership-focused approach𑁋delivering results that truly speak for themselves.

What truly sets us apart is how we engage with our partners. We take the time to understand what matters most to them, which is why every approach we take is uniquely tailored to their specific solution.

Discovery & Strategy

We kick off every project by working closely with you and your team in a discovery meeting to understand your vision and needs. Depending on the complexity and scale of our proposed solution, we’ll put together a team that includes project managers, designers, developers, or analysts, all tailored to your specific project. We’ll then present those custom solutions, discuss timelines, and clarify data requirements to make sure everyone is aligned from the start.

User Experience Design

Our design process is rooted in understanding your users and their behaviors. We gather user insights through research, interviews, and questionnaires which inform our design decisions. By focusing on user-centered and intentional designs, we create experiences that resonate with your audience.

Software Development

Our team works closely with you to create a solution that is both scalable and cost-effective. We keep the lines of communication open to ensure we're getting quick feedback from you at every stage. This allows us to continuously improve the solution and guarantee that we deliver the best possible results.

Continuous Optimization

As your partner, we view your solution as a long-term asset that we've designed to evolve alongside your growing needs. Projects typically unfold in multiple phases with each phase designed to optimize performance and ensure lasting success. Your dedicated team will equip you with actionable insights and best practices to keep you informed and supported with regular updates and performance improvements.

“Unlike large software companies where you’re just a number, Engage is a partner that listens, communicates, and adapts to our needs—not just for development, but for the years to come. That’s exactly what we were looking for, and we found it in Engage.”

Interesting stats on enterprise social

The folks at DNN Social competitor NewsGator* have released the results of a survey of 200 of their existing clients at Fortune 1000 companies. The results, while biased, are intriguing.

Per their survey, among respondents:

  • 73.3% said that "employee satisfaction" was their #1 measurable objective in going social
  • 45.6% said that it was "reduced costs"
  • 42.1% said it was "improved revenue" 

(At this point, you may have noted their percentages add up to 161%, which implies people answered that they have more than one #1 reason, so take these figures with a grain of salt.)

I'm guessing that among the surveyed audience the focus is on a social enterprise intranet solution, which would account for the goal of employee satisfaction being so important. We can see how many companies will see an enterprise social intranet as an easy win, but will venture into more external outreach once their own employees have accepted and adopted the platform.

Additionally, among respondents: 

  • 72.8% reported that social software more than paid for itself through greater collaboration among employees.

That's an interesting figure! If you ask DNN Social adopters, who pay significantly less for a license, I wonder what this figure would be?

  • According to 98% of respondents, "enhancing collaboration positively impacted the bottom line by driving new products, services and other innovations." That's terrific, as that's a key hope of launching an enterprise social solution. We see big opportunities for this very result using the Ideas tool (with social vote up) in DNN Social. We're looking forward to sharing a stat like this, too.

I'm delighted to read that this user base is finding so much success. I think these figures might offer more insight on the use of enterprise social in general, as opposed to the platform (there's no data on adoption rates, user experience, or actual employee satisfaction), but it doesn't make them any less interesting to note. The numbers seem to validate what we're hearing in the market. Enterprise social is continuing to gain momentum. Adoption rates and trial efforts are both very high.

We'll be watching stories like this one (though more ideally from neutral trade sources and analyst groups), and paying close attention to see more about how the platforms compare and compete against one another. Because in the end that's what you want to know, right? "Which social solution is right for my company?"

It's early to know for certain, but we can say this -- whether your main site is on DotNetNuke or not --if you're looking to put you toe in the water in business social 2.0, DNN is a great starting point given all the features you get for the price.

* NewsGator's marketing assertion is that they "provide the #1 social business solution for the Microsoft ecosystem." As DNN's is that they are the #1 Content Management System within the Microsoft ecosystem, with over 1,000,000 developers using the platform, how long before Social can overtake NG in the space?
